Japan is home to some of the most respected names in fountain pens, including great brands like Sailor, Pilot (and their luxury Namiki brand) and Platinum.
As with other Japanese pens, Japanese fountain pens are known worldwide for their quality, and the attention to detail that goes into them, starting with even the most basic models. And at the more luxury end of the market, fountain pens are often made with craftsmanship passed down through generations, with the most painstaking detail and artistic skill.
When choosing a nib, keep in mind that Japanese nibs tend to be finer than western nibs, so you may want to choose a bit wider than you usually would - fans of fine nibs usually love Japanese pens!
